The article focuses on the extrasolar planet Kepler-10b, a rocky planet 1.4 times the diameter of Earth, the smallest discovered by the Kepler mission to detect new planets run by the U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA)....
这颗星球现在被叫做Kepler-10b,是美国航天器Kepler的最新发现。 www.ecocn.org 3. However, it was dethroned in January 2011, with the announcement of Kepler-10b. 然而这一称号在2011年1月因Kepler-10b的公布而被废除。 article.yeeyan.org 4. If Kepler can find a planet as small as 10b, it can ...
The newly discovered Kepler-10b isn't the first alien planet that astronomers have announced is rocky. But they're more sure about Kepler-10b's composition than they've been before.
Kepler-10b: The First Unquestionably Rocky Alien Planet NASA Kepler-10b is the first "unquestionably rocky" exoplanet, scientists said upon announcing its discovery in January 2011. The scorching-hot world, which is about 1.4 times the size of Earth, lies about 560 light-years away. NEXT: ...
Kepler-10b must be a scorched world, orbiting at a distance that’s more than 20 times closer to its star than Mercury is to our own Sun, with a daytime temperature expected to be more than 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The Kepler team has determined that Kepler-10b is a rocky planet, wit...
Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone, the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the planet's surface. However, since it orbits once every 0.84 days, Kepler-10b is more than 20 times closer to its star...
We further derived constraints on the geometric albedo as a function of the planet’s brightness temperature. Results. We confirm the optical secondary eclipses for Kepler-10b (13σ), Kepler-78b (9.5σ), and K2-141b (6.9σ), with marginal evidence for K2-312b (2.2σ). We report new ...
We present thermal mass loss calculations over evolutionary time scales for the investigation if the smallest transiting rocky exoplanets CoRoT-7b (1.68Earth) and Kepler-10b (1.416Earth) could be remnants of an initially more massive hydrogen-rich gas giant or a hot Neptune-class exoplanet. We ap...
When an extrasolar planet passes in front of (transits) its star, its radius can be measured from the decrease in starlight and its orbital period from the time between transits. Multiple planets transiting the same star reveal much more: period ratios d
